"We've now refunded all customer accounts affected by fraud and lifted the suspension of online debit transactions so that customers can use their accounts as normal," said CEO Benny Higgins. "We're also keen to reassure our customers that none of their personal data has been compromised."

The bank also said it is working with authorities and regulators in their criminal investigation of the incident.
